I have a slight fear of heights, but I participated. The wind was strong and it was scary, but the fun outweighed the fear. Motion sickness medication was a must.

少し高所恐怖症ですが、参加しました。
風が強くて怖かったけど楽しさのほうが勝ちました。
酔い止め必須でした。

The event began on time with a glass of champagne. I must admit that the food was better than expected. The staff waited to serve each course until we were at the table, as we often went out to take air between courses and take pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short dinner cruise with romantic/relaxing ambiance.

The couple was our guide. The wife is Japanese and the husband is American, and he speaks fluent Japanese. They were incredibly kind both underwater and on land. We got to see sea turtles twice, and they took us to areas with lots of fish, which was a lot of fun.

ご夫婦でガイドさん。奥さんが日本人で旦那さんがアメリカ人で日本語がペラペラ。水中でも外でも超親切なお二人でしたよ。海ガメとは2回も会え、魚が沢山いるエリアに連れて行ってくれるのでとても楽しかったです。

The crew was awesome and very kind. They treated us like family and still gave us privacy to enjoy our trip to the Sandbar. I cannot say enough good things about the time we had. Great food, relaxing, adventurous, and fun.

We had a great experience. The staff were exceptional. We highly recommend this activity!

Great adventure for family or friends. The crews are friendly and helpful. They assist when loading the boat and while traveling to and from the sailing area. The office lady is kind and helpful.

It was truly one of my favorite things this trip. The crew were so nice and pleasant. The weather was a bit windy and the sandbar wasn’t fully out even with all that the experience was one of my favorites.
The crew helped you out throughout the whole experience. One of the guides even helped me with my snorkel experience and guided me. It was one of my favorite things to do and would recommend this activity to anyone I know. Thank you to all the wonderful crew, I am sorry that I can’t remember all the names. And thank you to my guide that helped me with the snorkel experience you have no idea how grateful I am. Overall, one of the top activities to do.

Nova Five Star package should be renamed to, 'Ten Star.' The reason being this package was over the top elegant, professional, and accommodating. Each table had their own charcuterie board, which was perfect snack to get the evening started.

The meal was served in an order that was so unique. I had never had sorbet in the middle of a meal, and I'm still dreaming of the texture and flavor. The presentation/ quality of food was very impressive. Each course amazed me more and more!

The music throughout the meal was so relaxing, and set the mood for a delightful evening. If you are looking for an intimate evening with your loved one, this is the package for you!

Mahalo to SOH for going the extra mile to create a magical space!

We did the dinner cruise with the Nova Five Star on the 4th deck of the boat and it was a treat and we really had a great time. Their table set up at the Super Nova Room was so beautiful, clean, so organized, and elegant! We had our own private table seating next to the window and we enjoyed the night view even without having to explore the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dinner. The steak was exceptionally tender, and the fresh fruit sorbet was our favorite. The servers provided excellent service as well, and the entertainment complemented the rainy weather, creating a more relaxing atmosphere.

Anyone looking for a romantic celebration on Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or any special occasion, the NOVA Five Star aboard the Star of Honolulu is an ideal choice.

For those seeking for a smaller crowd and more privacy, I would recommend booking the Nova Five Star cruise on Thursdays as it is not as busy as on the weekends.

I participated in the Heaven's Sea sandbar and snorkeling tour, which included a barbecue lunch.

In the end, I had the amazing experience of seeing a honu (sea turtle) right in front of me and swimming together for a while, but the cold before and after was beyond what I had imagined.

The wind was strong, it was cloudy, and there were no elements to warm us up at all, so older participants either didn't get in from the start or gave up early.

I borrowed two large towels from the hotel and brought a down jacket, which was just about right. There were some people who seemed completely fine, so there is a personal difference.

If it hadn't been cold, it would have been an incredibly fun activity. The staff taking care of us were very pleasant, and I'm glad I chose this tour.

I was expecting a bit better for lunch, but it was still quite delicious.

For the barbecue, we had grilled meat patties sandwiched in hamburger buns, with cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onion inside. There were also boiled beans, fruit, and chips.

They provided warm drinks as well, and I was impressed by how the small number of staff managed to serve such a large group.

天国の海　サンドバーとシュノーケリング、バーベキューランチ付きに参加しました。

結果的にはホヌに目の前で会えて、しばらく一緒に泳げるという、最高の体験が出来ましたが、その前後の寒さは、想像以上でした。

風が強く、曇りでもあり、全く暖かくなる要素がないままだったので、年配の方は最初から入らないか、早々にギブアップ。

大きめのタオル2枚、ホテルから借りて持っていき、ダウンも持って行って、ちょうどくらいでした。
中には全然平気な方もいらっしゃったので、個人差がありますね。

寒くなければ最高に楽しいアクティビティでした。お世話をしてくださる方々もとても感じ良くて、こちらを選んで良かったです。
ランチは、もう少し良いものを期待していましたが、十分美味しかったです。

バーベキューグリルで、焼いたお肉のパテをハンバーガーのバンズではさみ、中にはチーズ、トマト、レタス、オニオン。
あとは煮豆と果物、チップスでした。

温かい飲み物も、提供があるし、あれだけ沢山の人数を少数スタッフでさばけているのがすごかったかな。

It was a very windy day, so it was really shaky and scary, but I had a lot of fun. The view was amazing. I'm not good with drops on roller coasters, but this one was fine for me. The boat also swayed, so motion sickness medication was essential. We were fine because we had drinks, but about four other people on the boat seemed to be struggling with motion sickness. Since it sways in the air as well, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

風が強い日だったので、すごく揺れて怖かったけど、とても楽しかったです。
景色、最高でした。
ジェットコースターなどの落ちるところが苦手ですが、これは大丈夫でした。
船も揺れるし、酔い止めは必須でした。
私たちは飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、同船していた他の方は4人くらい酔っていて辛そうでした。
上空でも揺れるので酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。

The navigation system didn't pinpoint the location very well, and we searched quite a bit in the vicinity, but it was along the road, and we finally arrived. It's better to head there with a little extra time.

On the day of our visit, we ended up with a couple of foreigners, but there was one staff member accompanying each group, and my wife and I changed our departure time to go for a walk just the two of us.

We received a simple explanation in English on how to handle and ride the horses, and then we set off for the ride. We progressed slowly through the spacious grounds and also walked along the sandy beach by the coast. It was a relaxing horseback riding experience with great views.

ナビではなかなかピンポイントで到着せず、付近をかなり探しましたが、道路沿いにあり、何とか到着。少し余裕をもって向かった方が良いです。

当日は外人さんのカップルと一緒になりましたが、各グループに1人のスタッフが同行して、出発時間を変えて妻と私だけで散歩に出発。

簡単な馬の扱い方と乗り方を英語で説明して乗馬出発。
広々とした敷地内をゆっくりと進み、海岸沿いの砂浜も散歩。
のんびりと眺めの良い乗馬体験でした。

This was my husband and I's first time whale watching and first time in Hawaii. We were welcomed aboard the Star of Honolulu by friendly crew members. The boat experience alone was great. The education we obtained from the tour was helpful because although, we didn't see a whale breach that day, we were able to spot one the next couple of days with the information that we obtained from the tour. Definitely would recommend this tour to family and friends!

It was a windy day, so perhaps due to that, the boat rocked quite a bit. With the wind and the cold, I think it's better to have a jacket. I didn't get seasick, possibly because the motion sickness medication worked for me, but I saw several people looking unwell, so I recommend taking the medication.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales until the end, but I will try to think of it as having enjoyed the cruising experience. However, it was mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a ticket for a future ride, but I didn't receive one. There weren't any other available dates for me, so it's not a big deal if I don't get one, but just for your reference.

風の強い日でしたので、その影響もあるのか船はかなり揺れました。
風もあり寒いので上着があった方がいいと思います。私は酔い止め薬が効いたのか、船酔いはしませんでしたが気分が悪そうにしている人を何人か見かけたので薬は飲んでおいた方がいいかと思います。
肝心のクジラは最後まで見えなくて残念でしたがクルージングを楽しんだと思うことにします。
ただ、見れなかったときは次回乗れる券がもらえるようなことが書いてありましたが、もらえませんでした。日程的に他に空いてる日はなかったので、別にもらえなくてもいいのですが、参考まで。

Enjoyed our whale Watch. Staff are very knowledgeable! Always enjoy this tour! We take this trip every year we are on Oahu. Saw dolphins and whales! The drinks are reasonably priced and delicious! We love getting out on this boat because it is so peaceful in the water is so beautiful and blue. Every time we have taken this cruise we have seen whales! The check-in process was very easy as they were waiting right outside the boat. Parking was easy and it was $10 for the duration we were parked. We used hawaii activities.com to book this trip. They were very easy to deal with and enjoyable. We have been on the star of Honolulu for several different types of excursions. The boat is very safe and we have always enjoyed our time on them.

I didn't encounter any sea turtles at Hanauma Bay, but I did see the state fish. However, half of the one-hour swim was spent searching for sea turtles in an area where there weren't many fish, so there wasn't much time to enjoy watching the fish.

Additionally, after the tour, photos are uploaded to Facebook the same day, but ours were missing. There seemed to be some confusion during the tour regarding the number of participants (was it 8 or 10?), which raised concerns about their awareness. I also received no response when I inquired about it.

Even though I tipped generously, I felt that this tour company was dishonest, as they provided no support after payment. If I receive a response, I will revise my review. Please contact me for now.

ハナウマ湾でウミガメには出会えませんでしたが、州魚を見れました。ただ1時間の遊泳のうち半分は魚があまりいない場所でのウミガメ探しになってしまったので、ゆっくり魚を見る時間はありません。
また、ツアー後は当日中にFacebookに写真がアップロードされますが、私達夫婦の分が漏れており(ツアー中も参加者8人？10人？など揉めており、認識不足が垣間見えました。危険では？)、問い合わせても一切応答なし。
チップも十分払っているのに、、お金を払ったら後は一切対応しない不誠実なツアー運営だと思いました。連絡あれば、評価を修正します。とりあえず連絡ください。

We participated as a group of four, with two adults and two children. We opted for the shuttle service.

After boarding, we had a little time and were able to enjoy breakfast with the bread we brought along.

The onboard announcements (in English) inform you about the direction to look for whales, so I don't think you'll miss them.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and their tails multiple times. Unfortunately, we didn't get to witness a whale jumping out of the water. However, it was a fun experience, and we felt the presence of the whales more than we expected.

It can be quite windy, so having a long-sleeved jacket is advisable.

大人2人、子ども2人の計4名で参加。
送迎付きにしました。
乗船してから少し時間があり、持ち込んだパンで朝ごはんを取る余裕がありました。

船内アナウンス(英語)で、時計のどの方向にクジラが見えるか教えてくれるので、見逃してしまうことはないかと思います。

クジラの潮吹きや尾びれは何度も見ることができました。
クジラがざっぶーんとジャンプするような姿を拝むことは残念ながらできませんでした。
でも、思った以上にクジラの存在を感じることができて楽しい時間でした

風が強く長袖の上着があった方が安心です。

I traveled to Hawaii and encountered rain for the first time. Of all days, it had to be the day I went to the sandbar. Also, be careful because the sandbar doesn't appear when the tide is high. The staff was kind and friendly, and the activities they had prepared were great. The food was mostly snacks, and while there were spam musubi, I wished there were more filling options. Ultimately, it really depends on the weather! I was disappointed with the rain. It was far from the white sandy beaches and blue skies I had imagined. I will definitely seek revenge someday!

ハワイに旅行して、初めて雨に遭いました。
よりによって、サンドバーに行く日に遭うとは。
あと、潮位が高いと砂州は現れませんので要注意です。
スタッフは親切でフレンドリー、用意してあったアクティビティも良かったです。
食べ物はスナック中心で、スパムむすびがありましたが他にもお腹が膨れるものがあればいいなと思いました。
何はともあれホント天気次第！雨が恨めしかったです。
イメージしていた白い砂浜、青い空とは程遠いものでした。
いつかリベンジします！

It was canceled due to bad weather. It's a bit disappointing, even though it's nature. However, the guide was very attentive and we had a really enjoyable time.

天候不良で中止になりました。自然とはいえ、少し残念。でもガイドさんは丁寧に話してくれて、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I was worried about the bad weather until the day before, but we set sail safely.
When I strained my eyes on the fourth floor, I spotted some splashes of water.
It was far away, but I was moved to see the jumps!
After that, I was able to see them many more times, which made me very satisfied!
Aside from the initial briefing area being a bit cramped and crowded, and the fact that only the first floor restroom was available, I was very satisfied.
There were some people who seemed to be seasick, possibly due to the slightly high waves. I chose this option because I felt reassured that I could try again if I didn't see anything, and I think it was a good choice.

前日までの悪天候で心配しましたが無事出航
4階で目を凝らしていると水しぶき発見　
遠かったけどジャンプもみれて感動^_^
そのあとも何度も見られて満足満足！
最初の説明会場が手狭で密集してたのとトイレが一階しか利用できなかったのを除けば大満足です
波が少し高かったのか船酔いしてる人が見受けられました　もし見られなければもう一度チャレンジできる安心感で選びましたが良い選択だったと思います

Thank you for accommodating our very last minute request for a shuttle to the airport from our Waikiki hotel.
Shuttle arrived on time. Provided a relaxing trip to airport.
Driver was very nice and informative.
Would highly recommend this company.

It took about 40 minutes by bus from the hotel in Waikiki to arrive!

We received an overall explanation at the information center around 10 AM and then dispersed. There was a Japanese staff member who explained everything in Japanese!!

We had free time until the buggy ride. I strolled through the souvenir shop and spent time interacting with the horses!

We checked in for the buggy ride at 10:30 and set off!! The staff attending us spoke only English (there was a Japanese video for the initial safety instructions). There were parts of the explanation during the ride that I didn't understand, but the staff member was cheerful and friendly, and we had an amazing time for two hours!!! Getting caught in a downpour along the way was also a good memory!

Knowing I would get dirty, I participated in clothes I didn't mind throwing away. I was in the last buggy, but since it had just rained, there wasn't much dust, and I didn't get as dirty as I expected!! They provide helmets and goggles, so when it's sunny, you might want something to protect your nose and mouth...

【Essentials】
Change of clothes, wet wipes. It was cold in February, so having a long-sleeved cover-up might be good!!

Afterward, we had quite a bit of time until the 3:30 bus! I wish I had participated in another activity...

Lunch is available for purchase on-site! I had the garlic shrimp plate, and it was delicious!!

I want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii! Mahalo!

ワイキキのホテルからバスで40分くらいで到着！

10時前くらいからインフォメーションで全体的な説明を受けて解散。日本人スタッフがいるので日本語で説明してくれました！！

バギーの時間まで自由時間。
お土産売り場を散策して馬と触れ合い時間潰し！

10:30バギーの受付をしていざ出発！！
アテンドしてくれるスタッフは英語only
(最初の注意事項説明は日本語ビデオあり)
バギー中の説明は分からないところもありましたが、アテンドしてくれたスタッフが明るく気さくな方で2時間めちゃめちゃ楽しめました！！！
途中スコールをくらったのも良い思い出！

汚れると知っていたので捨ててもいい服で参加
1番後ろのバギーでしたが雨上がりで砂埃もあまりなく、思ったほど汚れずに済みました！！
ヘルメットとゴーグルは貸してくれるので
晴れてる時は鼻、口を守るものは必要かと…

【必需品】
着替え、ウェットティッシュ
2月で寒かったので、長袖の羽織ものあると良いかも！！

終わってからは15:30のバスまで時間があまり過ぎました！他のアクティビティに参加すれば良かったなと…

ランチは現地で購入可能！
ガーリックシュリンププレートを食べましたが美味しかったです！！

また次ハワイ来た時も参加したいです！
マハロ！

there were tons of whales, great crew that was friendly and knowledgeable, we really enjoyed the trip!

I visited Sandbar on a different tour before, and this was my second time. I checked the tide schedule and chose the morning tour, but the water level was higher than I expected, above waist height, so timing was tricky.

A Japanese female staff member provided thorough interpretation, which helped me understand the explanations in detail. Additionally, they took non-swimmers along with a float, allowing us to see the fish, which made me very happy. I was also pleased that they prepared warm drinks and rice balls for us.

サンドバーは以前は違うツアーで行って、今回が2度目でした。潮の満ち引きを調べて午前のツアーにしましたが、やはり思ってたような浅瀬ではなく腰より高い水位だったので、タイミングは難しいです。
日本人の女性スタッフが丁寧に通訳してくれて、説明事項が詳しく理解できて助かりました。
また、シュノーケルも泳げない人を浮き輪で連れて行ってくれたのでお魚を見ることができ嬉しかったです。
温かい飲み物やおにぎりも用意してくれていて嬉しかったです。

I was worried about seasickness, so I chose the largest sightseeing boat on Oahu. The view as we left the harbor and passed through Waikiki towards Diamond Head was simply amazing. As we got closer to Diamond Head, we encountered a family of whales three times. A group of about three, possibly a mother and her calves, surfaced for air, and every time they spouted water, cheers erupted. Onboard, there was a briefing about where to look when whales were spotted, which made the experience enjoyable. It seems this boat is also used for Sunset Dinner Cruises at night, and it had a restaurant onboard. Next time, I definitely want to experience the Sunset Cruise.

船酔いが心配だったのでオアフ島で一番大きいという観光船を選択。港をでてワイキキ沖を通ってダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう景色は、それだけで素晴らしいものです。ダイヤモンドヘッドに近くなったころに、クジラの家族？に三度遭遇。親子なのか三頭くらいの群れが呼吸のために海面に出てきて汐を吹くたびに歓声があがりました。船内では、クジラが見えたときのアナウンスと見る方向などが事前にレクチャーされており、楽しめました。この船は夜はSunset Dinnerクルーズなどに使われているようで、レストランも完備されていました。次回は是非、Sunsetクルーズを体験してみたいと思います。

I participated in the Sandbar Angel's Sea snorkeling and sea turtle watching cruise. The atmosphere was nice and it was fun, but when I entered the water for snorkeling, the water temperature was low and "it was cold."

Snorkeling was enjoyable, but I recommend preparing for the cold after getting back on the boat. Our family of three participated, and we all changed in the restroom and wrapped ourselves in thick towels we brought from the hotel.

Even though it's a tropical climate, it felt like winter? Since the water temperature is low, I recommend taking precautions. I was glad I had read experiences beforehand.

The weather was nice, so I thought it was still bearable, but I believe cold weather precautions are necessary when it's cloudy, rainy, or windy.

サンドバー　天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズに参加しました。雰囲気も良く、楽しかったのですが、シュノーケリングで海に入ったのですが、水温が低く「冷たかった」です。
シュノーケリングも楽しかったのですが、船に上がってからの寒さ対策をお勧めします。我が家は３人で参加しましたが、トイレで全員着替えて、ホテルから持参した厚いバスタオルにくるまっていました。
常夏といえど、やはり冬？なのか。水温が低いので対策をお勧めします。
事前に体験談を見て行っていたので、良かったです。
天気が良かったので、これでもまだマシだと思いましたから、天気が曇りだとか雨、風が強い等の時は、寒さ対策が必要だと思いました。

We participated in the tour as a family of three. Initially, we had booked for noon, but we received a recommendation from One Ocean to change it to 8 AM. There was no pick-up service, so we met at the location. The parking space at the harbor is spacious, so I don't think there will be any worries about parking. We met with the tour guide at the harbor, filled out a waiver, and boarded the boat. On the way to the shark point, there was an explanation of safety precautions regarding sharks, and we arrived at the point in about 30 minutes.

When my child shouted, "Shark!", I looked into the water and saw many sharks! It was a bit scary, but I trusted the explanation that there have been no accidents in the past 20 years and entered the water. The sharks were very calm, swimming gracefully, and they were beautiful. My impression of sharks has completely changed.

I wanted to see a tiger shark, but I was told that it wasn't the right season. However, we were able to see a whale, which is rarer than a tiger shark! It was a tour that left my child very satisfied. I would love to participate again. Additionally, for an extra fee of about $70, you can purchase a Go-Pro video. I would definitely like to join again!

家族3名でツアーに参加しました。最初に予約した時は昼12時で予約していましたが、ワンオーシャンから朝一がお勧めだと連絡があり、8時に変更しました。送迎はなく、現地集合です。ハーバーの駐車場スペースは広く、駐車場の心配はいらないと思います。ハーバーでツアーの方と待ち合わせして、誓約書を記入して、船に乗り込みます。サメのポイントへ向かう間に、サメの注意事項などの説明があり、30分ほどでポイントに到着です。
子供が「サメだ！」と叫んだので、海を覗くと、たくさんのサメがいます！
少し怖かったのですが、過去20年間、事故はないと言う説明を信じて、海へ入りました。
サメはとても落ち着いていて、泳ぎも優雅で、とても美しかったです。全くサメの印象は変わりました。
タイガーシャークを見たかったのですが、時期的に見れないとの事。しかし、タイガーシャークより希少なクジラを見る事ができました！
子供も大満足なツアーでした。また、参加したいと思います。また、追加料金70ドルほどで、Go-Proの動画を買う事もできます。また参加したいと思います！

The waves were calm that day, so we were able to go out to the special area. Although we didn't see any turtles, we saw plenty of colorful and large fish. I thought an hour would be short, but it turned out to be quite tiring, and I got seasick and felt fatigued from the flight. In the end, I managed to return slowly. I had prepared a waterproof case to take photos underwater, but I didn't have the energy to do so. Let's make sure to remember everything with our eyes. Both my child and I felt unwell, but the guide was very accommodating and didn't show any displeasure, which was a relief. Thank you very much.

その日は波が穏やかだったとのことで、特別に行ける沖にいったそうです。
カメは見られませんでしたが、カラフルで大きな魚はたくさん見れました。
1時間は短いかと思いましたが、やってみるとかなり疲れるのと波酔い、飛行機疲れのため酔ってしまいました。最後は休み休み、何とか戻ることができました。
水中で写真撮るかと思い、防水ケースを用意していましたが撮る余裕はありません。目でしっかり焼き付けましょう。
親子で体調が悪くなりましたが、ガイドの方が嫌な顔することなく対応してくださり助かりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated in a whale watching tour with my middle school son. The pickup was near our hotel, but there were other tours, and when the bus arrived, it turned out to be for a different tour. After that, our tour bus arrived, but the pickup was a bit delayed. The bus was clean, and there was no typical bus smell, making it comfortable.

Once on board, we listened to explanations in a large dining area on the first floor, where those who wanted could pay for meals. All the staff were locals, so the explanations were in solid English. After the briefing, we could go up to the deck.

We waited at a spot where whales were expected to appear. The boat rocked quite a bit while moving and even while waiting. I took motion sickness medication, but those who are prone to seasickness might get nauseous. I got seasick quickly and rested on a chair on the deck.

We saw a few dolphins. I heard that when a whale appears, they announce it by saying "○ o'clock," so I was lying down and seemed to have missed it when it showed up. My son noticed it because someone next to him murmured about the spout, and he saw it when they said "3 o'clock," so he apparently saw it twice. The whales were quite far away, as shown in the photos, while the dolphins were relatively close.

中学生の息子とホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
ピッキングは宿泊ホテルの近くでしたが、他のツアーの方もいて時間に来たバスが来たので聞いてみると違うツアーでした。その後当ツアーのバスが来ましたが、お迎えは少し時間が遅れていました。バス内は清潔でバス特有の匂いもなく快適でした。
乗船し、1階の食事が出来る大部屋で説明を聞きながら希望者は有料で食事が出来ます。スタッフは全員現地の方なので、説明もガチ英語。
説明が終わったらデッキへ上がれます。
出没スポットと思われるところで待機。船は走っているときも待機中も結構揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔ってしまうでしょう。私はすぐに酔ってしまい、デッキの横になれるチェアで休んでいました。
イルカが数匹見れました。
「○oclck」とクジラがでたらアナウンスされると聞いたので、横になっていましたが気づかないうちに現れていたようです。
息子は隣の人が呟いたため気づいて見えた潮吹きと、「3o'clock」と言われてみたので計2回見えたようです。クジラは写真の通り遠巻きで、イルカは割と近くで見えます。

From the moment we set sail, the sparkling sea and the pleasant wind made me feel great, and I thought it would be enough even if we didn't see any whales! However, shortly after departing, we were greeted by a large pod of dolphins. They seemed to playfully swim alongside the boat, and I was thrilled to see so many adorable dolphins.

A little further ahead, we spotted two whales spouting water. They weren't very large, but their size was clearly different from the dolphins, moving gracefully. Throughout the trip, dolphins and whales appeared alternately, making the two and a half hours fly by. The crew mentioned that we were particularly lucky to see so many whales today.

出航前からキラキラ光る海と風に気持ちよくて、クジラ見られなくても十分！と思っていましたが、出航して少ししたら、まずはイルカの大群。
ふざけながら船に並走してくれるようで、たくさんの可愛いイルカたちがみられて感激。
その後その少し先で潮を吹くクジラが2頭。
それほど大きくないクジラでしたが、明らかにイルカとは違う大きさ。ゆったりした動き。
その後もイルカやクジラが代わるがわる現れて、あっという間の２時間半でした。
今日は特にたくさんのクジラが見られたよと船の方もおっしゃってました。
